While it's true it's not explicitly documented, that was my
understanding last time I checked at the --help screen and saw -c as
optional. This is how I set it up - normal check_nrpe on all Linux hosts
and all remote NRPE checks dependent of it.
I agree it would be good to document this in --help; maybe even use that
as a dependency example in the sample config...
